Emmanuel Mudiay had to wait longer than expected to be drafted. Once
considered a potential top overall pick in this draft class, he was rumored
to go as high as fourth to the New York Knicks. He ended up going seventh to
the Denver Nuggets, who already have an above-average point guard in Ty
Lawson.
刚果裔后卫Emmanuel Mudiay(小穆)在选秀会上花了比他预期还久的时间等待有球队
选他。尽管在选秀前被不少球评认为是今年选秀前五顺位的热门人选，甚至被预测
有机会被第四顺位的尼克选上，但他一直到第七顺位才被金块选入－而且金块已经
有实力已经在水准以上的Ty Lawson做后场指挥官。
“They’re definitely up and down,” Mudiay said of his emotions. “You just
don’t know, especially after Karl [Anthony-Towns] got picked, nobody really
knew where they was going. But we’re definitely excited that I got picked to
Denver.”
小穆在金块举办的记者会谈到了他在选秀会上的心情：“我的情绪绝会有起落，特别是
除了Karl(Anthony Towns)确定是当天的状元外，其他人都不知道报名选秀的人接下来
会去哪只球队，但我能被金块选入球队，仍然让我与我的家人感到相当喜悦。”
Mudiay was asked whether he felt his decision to play in China this past year
, instead of at SMU, impacted his draft stock.
小穆在记者会上，也被问到他是否有感觉他不去念大学(他原本选择位在德州的SMU)，
反而去中国联赛打球，对他的选秀行情造成影响。
“I don’t think it impacted, I just think maybe when I got hurt,” he
explained. “You could have got hurt anywhere, so when I got hurt I think
that’s what made my stock go down, I guess. But I’m in the NBA, I made
it in, so it starts right now.”
小穆解释说：“我觉得那不是原因。即使有拉低我选秀顺位的因素，也是后来我受伤了
吧！只要上场打球就难免受伤，我想这可能影响了我选秀的行情。但我现在终究打进
NBA了啊，我在这里(回美国后)的篮球生涯现在才开始。”
Mudiay is open to teaming up with Lawson.
“I can just learn as much as I can from Ty Lawson,” Mudiay said of how he
fits with Denver. “He’s been there a while, so I’m just going to try to
get as much advice as I can.”
小穆也公开表达愿意与金块队现任一哥Lawson合作的意愿：“我只要与他(Lawson)合
作，绝对能够从他那里学到很多东西。他在那里有一段时间了，所以我要做的事就是
尽量从前辈那里得到对我有用的建议。”
Moments after the Nuggets selected Mudiay, Lawson posted a video of himself
on social media stating: “Told you, I’m going to Sacramento.”
只不过Lawson在得知金块选入Mudiay后似乎不怎么喜悦，因为他在自己的网站发布了
一段影片，并在影片中表示“告诉你们，我接下来要去沙加缅度了！”
